This was probably the best experience I've ever had in Mexico! The owners, Jim and Candace, were extremely helpful and are great overall. I felt like I was visiting old friends. The inn is beautifully done and the view is spectacular. If you are looking for a resort place with a big party nightlife, go elsewhere. However, if you are interested in Mazatlan, the ocean, the Machado, or the other parts of the real Mazatlan, I highly recommend this place. It truly is a treasure!

After staying at Candace and Jim's gorgeous, spacious home, we found that we've graduated from the cramped, cookie-cutter vacation lifestyle that the beach hotel zone represents.

While the Golden Zone is an easy 10-minute bicycle ride away (on one of the Inn's free bikes), who needs it; we much prefer the quieter haunts of nearby Playas Norte, Los Pinos and Olas Altas. When we had enough of the beach, Candace and Jim's home was a short walk away, offering a respite from the sun in a designer-decorated room, or a cold Pacifico on the veranda while watching a breathtaking sunset.

Candace and Jim were consummately helpful, offering directions and suggestions about all of the usual visitors' needs: Where to tour; where to eat (without getting sick!); where to shop; where to find entertainment; how to get there.

We're recommending Candace and Jim's home to our friends and relatives, and we'll be back!

We had the most wonderful time. Jim and Candace were absolutely fabulous hosts. We enjoyed the place so much we literally had to drag ourselves away to see Mazatlan.

Here it is a week after we've returned to the States and we are still talking about Casa de Suenos! It couldn't have been better; the house is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures really don't do it justice. All modern appliances, beautiful furniture, phone, computer, even a BBQ grill! And the housekeeping service was very much appreciated.
The location right on the malecon close to "old Mazatlan" is perfect. Beautiful sunsets every night, watching the ships on the ocean - the view was awesome.
Mazatlan is such a friendly town, and it seemed like we had a central location to just about anything we wanted to do. Jim and Candace are the most gracious hosts; they answered our questions, offered suggestions and gave advice, and it seemed like they were available whenever they were needed.
Jim's knowlege of the tuna bite was so valuable; he took the guys fishing one day and they had a blast.
We are already looking at the calendar and finding the perfect week to book in again next year!
